Swimming in an Oil Spill…

Reflection

Penguins are one of my favorite animals. However, these animals are impacted greatly because of oil spills in the ocean. One method for cleaning up the spills is to burn the freshly spilled oil. Carbon dioxide comes from these fires, which impacts our atmosphere. After watching many movies and documentaries about our blue planet, I realized how important our oceans are. Somehow, it’s sad how it looks like the penguins enjoy swimming in the oil spill, but they are actually dying from it. We should try to look for a cleaner energy source to prevent prospective spills. I love the ocean, and I hope more people will protect it!
